I have am a CPA/MBA and have a lot of statistical analysis experience. Spending some time with downloaded transaction reports nothing tells me how they conclude that no value is placed on one visitor to another. They only really examine bids and purchases not the fact that you did your work and sent them traffic.

I understand ACRU and the whole process of Ebay and how that works, I was a Power Seller there for 6 years.

When making links and banners I worked very hard and was careful to ensure the links and banners would take the visitor to a tight niche of products related to what the page on my web site was about. It’s all antique glass and pottery so my category was 870 – pottery and glass.

My EPC went from 13-cents to zero in 1/2 a month for May 2010. I was off the program since Dec 2009 and restarted it. The initial results was very good and promising.

The site delivering to Ebay has a Google PR of 6 and receives over 10,000 unique visits on average per month. That average has been consistent since 2004.

My point is this: If you’re going to work as hard as I did, making links and banners for several hundred pages that contain original and informative content, the piece of real estate working for Ebay is worth more than zero.

I’m afraid Ebay doesn’t think so.

I thought slave labor was over. “There is no free lunch” is something Ebay doesn’t believe when they’re the one at the buffet.

Thanks for reading and good luck to you.

I pointed out Steve Hartman’s ineptitude waaay back in 2008 and nobody was interested in listening.

I find it extremely humorous that this guy has gone from running what would/could and should have been the largest affiliate marketing program in the world to marketing mini-storage units. If Hartman was doing such a wiz-bang job at eBay why did he move out of the ecommerce arena and into brick and mortar? Because he is worthless when it comes to anything to do with the internet.

Obviously the U-Store-It CEO does not use Google or this guy would never have been hired.
